AngularJS or Angular? I was a hold out with Angular 1.x. As a library, it was great.

My team understood the strengths and weaknesses, and we utilised almost all of the features that it provided.

The >2.x releases didn’t provide much value for us, and didn’t solve any problems that we had. So the motivation to migrate and refactor was low.

I still think Angular 1.x is a decent library, and have often contemplated contributing fixes/security to a fork.

Agreed. I really liked AngularJS in spite of all its shortcomings. To me, it felt a lot more traditional I guess, and coming from Python/Django, I really enjoyed that. React on that other hand, I can't seem to gel with it at all.

Angular, if I wanted to say AngularJS, I would have written as such.

However, if you see other posts from me, you would also notice that I am largely involved in projects that are quite strong in Java and .NET stacks with SSR.

So even Angular isn't there in every project.
